February 26, 2017 Cat fairy, good idea, two stairs

 I have shared this gem with a few of you.  I find Chloe's drawing inspiring, and hilarious.  I love this girls imagination.

 Ike in a basket.  He is in there.  Promise.

Two stairs or bust.

 Ike and Cora, I love when these frenemies play well together.

 Rex kept reenacting a part from tom where the mom says good idea my son in Deutsche.

 Ike hiding and laughing.

Silly Ike.

Ike hates Chewbacca.  Mike watched a clip that had someone in a bad not authentic costume and Ike still goes nut-so.  This week we watched a planet earth episode and Rex lost it over lizards getting eaten by snakes.  We all have things that freak us out.

February 19, 2017 Chloe's 9th party

 Forrest fun.

 We love walking in the forest behind our house.

I love watching Ike run.  Isn't that a book? See Ike Run

If it's not a book it should be.

 Ike loves to color.

 Ike loves selfies

 My friend sent this to me this week after a safety presentation at the school I was able to attend.  It is pretty funny,

 Ike and his wing-men at the valentines party.

 We had friends over on valentines day.  Ike and Cora are frenemies.  Neither is happy neither is comfortable.

 Valentine dinner.

 More forest walks.

 Playing with the big kid toys.

 Reading time.  I love how Ike is old enough he is participating with the books.  This is still a favorite.  Thanks Murrie for Press here.

 Chloe had her friend Birthday party.

Fun at the Rich's.  Mike hurt his back Monday before he left for Poland.  He got home Friday and having dinner at our friends they convinced him to go to the Doctor to get help.  It helps our friends are doctors and knew the ER was empty and were able to help things run smoothly.  He was home in 2 hours!  We are so thankful for friends and family that always seem to pull trough when we are down.  We have many that build us emotionally, mentally, spiritually and even like this night physically.  We are so thankful for those around us, and afar, that we can help build each other.

February 12, 2017 Mike is home.

 Ike is still sad about his none of his favorite foods.  Mike has been home this week from Poland.  It has been a dream.  I have been able to get so much done.  The kids and I have LOVED having him home.  We have been able to go on a a few dates and I have had a little bit of a lone time.  It has been awesome.

 Ike being a dog or cat.  He loves to take me stuff in his mouth.

 Double forking it.

 Ike is so funny when he eats.

 Chloe and Ike playing baby ride the doggie.  Chloe has been home since her teacher was sick.

 Reading time for everyone.  We are so thankful for Sister Madson and Burk.  They are so patient reading with the kids.

 At work Mike found commander coins and gave them to the kids.  They pretended they were ears.

 Rex with his cheese and meat.  At least he knows what he wants.

 Ike talking to himself while eating.

 Rex and his art.

 Rex has a friends that talks about Harry Potter all the time.  Rex made this drawing of dementors and Voldemort sucking the blood from a unicorn.

 Rex read mouse paint at school.

Ike loves to draw fish.  It is his top passion right now.

February 5, 2017 NO GLUTEN!

 Ike is so funny

Wroclaw Poland

 Ike is having more allergy issues.  We have now cut out gluten and milk to see if we can help this guy.  He is even more pissed.

We have resorted to giving him peanut butter on a spoon.  He hates life.

 Rex had his parent teacher conference this week.  He is doing well.  his teacher said he speaks German so well without an accent.  After we went out for Thai food. It was yummy and fun.

 love this boy.

 This is Ike kind of yelling kind of happy because he doesn't love almond milk.

 later he cheesed for me.

Over all his is just angry.  In nursery I told them about the diet restrictions.  He ran around the table trying to steal gold fish from the other kids.  He only got  a couple but he was laughing so hard trying to get what he wanted. 

Going on a walk with friends.

 Rex is so sweet.

 Mike came home.  I went for a walk by myself.  It felt like spring.  It was so beautiful.

I came back and found everyone evening out the mole holes.  Then we went for a family walk.
